Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Roberto Voerzio, Barolo, Brunate, 2010

Considerably more brooding and muscled than the Cerequio, this is hugely powerful and profound but will require a decade or two to reveal its full potential, intense earthy, autumnal flavours of dark hedgerow fruit infused with notes of Asian spice, undergrowth, herbs and cinnamon, despite the robust structure the finish boasts haunting clear flavours of sweet and spicy fruit. Monumental. Situated in La Morra at between 250 and 400 metres above sea level, facing east and south-east, this is one of the highest vineyards in the area that produces powerful, complex and very complete wines. Only 200 cases are made.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous

The 2017 Barolo Brunate is redolent of black cherry, menthol, lavender, rosemary and leather. The inward, brooding energy of Brunate is somewhat present, but the vineyard signatures aren't fully developed. The 2017 comes across as a sort of half wine, its there, but only partly there. Time and aeration only serve to accentuate the wine's modest structure and lack of complexity. The Brunate is still a very good wine, but I expect a lot more from Roberto Voerzio.
